EARTH CITY, Mo. -- The St. Louis Rams continued their up-and-down trend Sunday by destroying the Oakland Raiders 52-0.
It was the most complete win of the season for the Rams, though not their most impressive considering the opponent and the fact that they own victories against top teams like Denver and Seattle. Nonetheless, it was good enough to elevate the Rams two spots from last week to No. 21 in this week's ESPN NFL Power Rankings.
The Rams sit in a group of five teams with a record of 5-7. Of those teams, they rank behind only No. 19 New Orleans in terms of teams with that record. The 6-6 Houston Texans are directly in front of the Rams at No. 20 but they are followed by the other 5-7 teams, with Atlanta, Chicago and Minnesota occupying spot Nos. 22-24, respectively.
Personally, I ranked the Rams at 20th this week, ahead of the Saints. I think it's fair to say the Rams are the best of the 5-7 teams and they clearly have a more impressive resume than the other 5-7 teams.
With a chance to get consecutive wins for the first time in 2014 this week against the Washington Redskins, the Rams could break back into the teens for the first time since the preseason.
